CPR & AED Training
Course overview:
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) saves lives. Statistics show that the earlier CPR is initiated, the greater the chances of survival. In fact, 100,000 to 200,000 lives of adults and children could be saved each year if CPR were performed early enough. (according to the Heart Association estimates) AED's (automated external defibrillators) are proven to save lives and are therefore an invaluable addition to health and safety provision for your employees. The course will also teach defibrillator operators how to perform effective CPR.
Sadly, 70 percent of people may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed. This alarming statistic could hit close to home because home is exactly where 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur.
A casualty's survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
Course Duration & Qualification:
Our one-day course lasts for three years, before you need to requalify. You will be presented a FAA Level 2 (QCF) award in CPR and AED Training Certificate.

First Aid Risk Assessment
Course overview:
HSE (health, safety and environment) cannot tell you what provision you should make for first aid. You, as an employer, are best placed to understand the exact nature of your workplace and decide what you need to provide.
First aid provision must be 'adequate and appropriate in the circumstances'. This means that you must provide sufficient first aid equipment (first aid kit), facilities and personnel all the time.
In order to decide what provision, you need to make you should undertake a first-aid needs assessment. This assessment should consider the circumstances of your workplace, workforce and the hazards and risks that may be present. The findings will help you decide what first-aid arrangements you need to put in place.
Anyone who is responsible for risk assessment within the workplace in conjunction with The HSE 2013 First Aid Guidelines for Employers.
